The aroma of the dried leaves is really neat, it is a blend of roasted and floral. You get notes of sweet roasted popcorn and barley, this fades to orchid and honeysuckle, which in turn fades to a subtle chestnut. The dried leaves smell delicious, I really like the balance between floral and roasted.
The first steep is subtle yet tasty, you can tell this tea has not fully 'woken up' yet so the flavors present are not very strong. Oh the joys of short steeping and watching a tea's flavor bloom. The taste is roasted with notes of toast and popcorn, it has a finish of subtly sweet chestnut.
I was able to get a total of sixth steeps, each one quite delicious.
